Exploring genes, circuits, and behavior in zebrafish since 1998. Current focus on fish cognitive neuroscience and building a next-gen brain atlas.bi.mpg.de/baier Martinsried near MunichJoined November 2022
Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns?
To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠

Latest from my lab: we identify and characterize the function of binocular neurons zebrafish larvae use to hunt prey; sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. Congrats to Richard Tian, Gewei Yan and Tommy Lam @tkclam!
Congratulations to Profs. Avraham Levy, Gilad Perez, Shalev Itzkovitz, Lucio Frydman, Nachum Ulanovsky and Steffen Jung, upon being awarded the ERC Advanced Grant 2024 #ERCAdG@ERC_Research
As Tobias said, this may not be the biggest award in a lifetime, but often the first—& a powerful push to keep going in science. That’s true for me! Thank you Tobias Bonhoeffer& Manfred Gahr for the warm welcome. Uhl foundation 🙏! And great to see Ruediger again!@MPIforBI
Thank you, our dear friends, for the warm words and offer to help. Weizmann was hit by a missile last night- a real nightmare😭. Thank God no one is hurt, but there’s significant damage to many labs. I’m stuck abroad, waiting desperately to be able to go home to my family and lab
🧪Researchers, led by @T___Kawashima@zq_wei & @MishaAhrens, are decoding how neurons carry out computations carefully calibrated to an animal’s movement & environment to precisely regulate the release of neuromodulators.

Preprint Alert!
How does the brain distinguish different types of optic flow?
We combined CaMPARI2 labeling with single-cell RNA-seq (CaMPARI-seq) to dissect visual circuits in zebrafish.

The peer-reviewed version of expansion in situ genome sequencing is now out in Science!
The news is bittersweet – when we first revealed this last September, I never guessed it would be my final paper in academia, but a lot has changed. A few parting thoughts:
Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service…
